I found the description of the table_size argument to the function
acpi_parse_entries_array() unclear and ambiguous.  This is a minor
documentation change to improve that description so I don't misuse
the argument again in the future, and it is hopefully clearer to
other future users.

But alas this needs to be one line.

You can add more details in the comment body below.
